In the world that Donald Trump inhabits, it is the White race that is ‘beleaguered’ by its own political power and economic success. The only distinguishing feature about Donald Trump is that he has been open and honest about his racism from start to finish. This honesty is merely a matter of political expediency, and does not make Donald Trump ‘special’.

It is often left-leaning capitalists in the UK that criticise Communist China. This type of bourgeois often supports the Labour Party, and whilst living within, and supporting the capitalist system – openly attack non-European countries that have thrown-off the capitalist yoke. My view is that this is anti-Chinese racism as manifested on the left of the political spectrum.
